Recording digital TV programs using a

VCR or DVD recorder

If you connect recording equipment such as a VCR or DVD recorder to the MONITOR OUT terminals on the rear of the Media Receiver, you can record, for example, digital TV programs using the recording equipment.

You can also record digital TV programs more easily by using the supplied VCR controller. Connect the VCR controller to the VCR control terminal on the rear of the Media Receiver and then position the controller so that its light emitting section faces the remote control sensor on the recording equipment. For more informa- tion, see page 78.
